COLORADO RIVER VIEW OF DEAD HORSE POINT, UTAH

 

DEAD HORSE POINT COLLECTION SITE - Frances C. Lindgren Photograph

For our 50th wedding anniversary we decided to return to Moab, Utah - one of our favorite places! We also decided to view the area differently than we had ever done before. We had been to Dead Horse Point several times, but always viewed it from the top. This time we decided to view it from the bottom on the Colorado River! We took a jetboat ride down/up the Colorado, and had a great time. We were allowed off of the boat several times. My bride photographed me on the banks of the Colorado collecting a sample. Charles F.

Roundness is the degree of smoothing due to abrasion of sedimentary particles. It is expressed as the ratio of the average radius of curvature of the edges or corners to the radius of curvature of the maximum inscribed sphere.

The sphericity of a particle is: the ratio of the surface area of a sphere (with the same volume as the given particle) to the surface area of the particle.
